    Looks like someone who really needs a rest.
    Color works well in this shot.

      Cheers, felt it had to be colour.

      What surprised me wasn’t the fact he was sleeping (a far from uncommon sight), but that he’d opted to sleep where he did, rather than just next to his bike.

      An unusual sleeping spot for sure…

    Woah! Definitely eerie. Especially since his bike looks like a gurney at first glance…

      Yeah, I suppose it does a bit. Hadn’t thought of that.

    I was shocked when I saw this picture. Is it safe to sleep there? And this season, with so many small crawling arthropod animals….I cannot imagine..

      I don’t know. Probably. But it did seem odd that he chose where he did…
